Continuing the Modern Commemoratives Dollar series, we will present you today the 2012-W "Infantry" graded by PCGS PR70 DCAM.

All coins of this series weight 26.73g with 90% silver purity. They were issued in Proof and Brilliant Uncirculated finish.

They will be presented in the order they were minted.

This coin was issued to celebrate the legacy of the United States Army Infantry and the establishment of the National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center.

The obverse of the coin features a modern infantry soldier charging forward and beckoning others to follow.

The last commemorative coins are all militaristics. Any special reason?

Not that I have noticed. Americans like to commemorate wars and militaries.
